Before & After: The Bedroom

Before

After

Although the second floor of the
house needed less radical building work the bedroom had been
painted a rather gloomy blue. To make the most of the light, Sophie
and Dan opted to repaint the room Dulux's 'Pure
Brilliant White', lemon yellow accents bring further warmth to the
room. The divan bed is furnished with a buttoned 'Bekkestua'
headboard from Ikea and the cane mirror hung over
the bed was bought on a trip to Saffron Walden.

Sophie found a 1920s gentleman's
wardrobe in the Goldfinger Factory, an upcycling community
project based in the Trellick Tower. She has stacked hat boxes on
top of this - they are filled with hats, ribbons, feathers and
fabric flowers as she is a keen milliner in her spare time.
